Your mind is actually a pretty "magical" thing, and everything you "see" is an interpretation of the input your eyes receive. As a result, as long as you're not paying attention to the resolution something is being displayed at your mind will interpret the information in such a way that the resolution is unimportant. This is similar to how an individual can "see" individual images in a tiny fraction (1/1000th) of a second and a fluid display of more than a couple of images per second is interpreted as motion.
